Button colours

Hi all

As I sat through the show last night I looked at my virtual console, see attach snip.

This is pretty much the format I have used in the 3 show I have done so far, and it fits my mindset.

Changing my widgets to "LED" rather than border allowed me to see which button was active...

Thinking more on that line when the button is active it changes to grey, would be good it it could change to another colour like green, that way I can quickly see what button is active...

What if you already use background colors for your buttons?

Something like this:

If you use grey to show that a button is active, it works on all colors.

If you use green to show that the Red button is active it is going to be confusing.
And what if the Green button is active?
And what if you do not use a solo frame, so several colors could be active at the same time (but the green one is not)?

Thanks
Had a quick play and you it works, but for me it is not enough of a contrast to draw my eye to which of the 70 (last show) cues on the screen

Maybe I am thinking about it wrongly..
